Dying Light: The Beast is a standalone game starring Kyle Crane that started out as DLC, and will be free for owners of Dying Light 2 Ultimate Edition

Kyle Crane an angry looking man with a facial scar.

Techland just announced the next game in the Dying Light series at Gamescom's Opening Night Live. It's called Dying Light: The Beast, and it's set between the events of Dying Light and Dying Light 2: Stay Human. It also marks the return of Kyle Crane, hero of the original game, voiced once more by Roger Craig Smith. 

Even at a quick glance there's a few interesting things to discuss about The Beast. First, it actually began as DLC for Dying Light 2, but grew so big Techland decided to turn it into a standalone game. It's also set in a place called Castor Woods, a "once-bustling tourist destination" that's been overrun by zombies. You're leaving the densely packed city behind and going rural in this one.
